00X/004 future nuclear CATOBAR carrier thread

[snake65]

If that object really is a reactor containment, there should be more coming.
Otherwise it's definitely not a CVN and highly likely not a warship at all.

We have to wait for further information to come out but the information we have now shows it is a large ship wether it’s a carrier or not remains to be seen

Listening again to the Guancha guys talking about Fujian from a year ago, where they mentioned the 15k tons carrier idea, they also talked about the following:

1. Fujian wasn’t designed with J-XDS/naval 6th gen in mind

2. The next carrier or the next next carrier after Fujian, whether nuclear or conventional, would be designed with J-XDS/naval 6th gen in mind

3. They think Kitty Hawk or Fujian sized carriers are not big enough. The problem is not just deck space, but also hangar space

4. They strongly urge everyone to jump out of "US carrier thinking", and instead think of future CN carriers as taking a CN route

For #2, assuming the rumours are true and the two carriers are being constructed simultaneously, it is highly probable that this conventional carrier is designed with J-XDS/naval 6th gen in mind. How the PLAN envisions this carrier in relation to 6th gens should be a bigger consideration.

Here is a clip of the discussion in question:

On the 15K tons comment. Do you actually mean 150K tons displacement for a carrier?

personally i believe China will have a sister ship to accompany Fujian [eg Liaoning, Shangdong]. then comes the CVNs. there's a Chinese adadge ..."lucky things come in TWO"...eg a marriage, man + woman
